CASH-CARRIER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 18, 1908.

Application filed July 11, 1907. Serial No. 383,334.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MAJOR It. CoLLINs, of Indianapolis, county of Marion, and State of Indiana, have invented a certain new and useful Cash-Carrier; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which like letters refer to like parts.

This invention relates to an improvement in means for interlocking the outer and inner shells of a tubular cash carrier. To that end, the open end of the inner shell is turned reversely inwardly and a plate is secured to the end of the outer shell with a peripheral catch like flange that engages over the inturned end of the inner shell. Said plate is also provided with a radially projecting stop that engages the ends of the cut away portion of the inturned flange on the inner shell for stopping the independent rotation of the shells at the open and closed positions thereof.

The nature of the invention will be understood from the accompanying drawings and the following description and claims.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a plan view of a cash carrier open. Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal section thereof. Fig. 3 is a transverse section on the line 3'3 of Fig. 2 with the carrier open. Fig. 1 is the same when closed. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the holding and locking plate or disk. Fig. 6 is an end elevation of the cash carrier. Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the inturned end of the inner shell, the other end being broken away.

In detail there is shown an outer cylindrical shell 10 open at one end and closed at the other end, and an inner shell 11 of similar form, the open end of the inner shell project-- ing intothe outer shell. To each shell a felt 12 is secured by a pair of screw bolts 13 that project through a plate 14 on the outer end of the felt and screw into a duplex nut or plate 15 within the inner end of the shell. At their outer ends said bolts have heads flattened on the side so that the lock plate 16 lying flat on the plate 14 will wedge in between the adjacent flattened sides of the bolt heads 13 so that the latter cannot turn. This lock plate 16 is held in place by a cotter pin. This construction prevents any accidental escape of the felts and yet they may be readily removed if necessary.

The open end of the inner shell 11 is reversely inturned as shown'in Fig. 7 to make the inturned flange 17. A segment of it is cut away, as shown. Within the closed end of the outer shell a holding and locking plate or disk 20 is secured by screw bolts 13. Its diameter is small enough to permit it to project into the inturned end of the inner shell 11, and it is provided with flanges or holding fingers 21 that are reversely and downwardly turned, as shown in Fig. 5, to engage the inturned flange 17 of the inner shell. These holders 21 may be narrow projections, as shown inFig. 5, or be wider as desired, their sole function being to hold the inner shell in its place in the outer shell and yet so as to permit the partial independent revolution of the shells. Said disk or plate20 has a radially projecting stop 22 that projects into and operates in the cut away portion of the inturned flange 17 of the inner shell so that the portions of said flange at the end of the cutaway part thereof will be stopped by said stop 22 during the independent rotation of the inner shell. Thus it is seen that one plate carries both means for holding the shells together and for stopping the independent rotation thereof in both directions, and yet it is within the shells and absolutely out of the way, and the external surface of the shells is smooth and free from any obstruction, as shown.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A cash carrier having a pair of cylindrical shells one within the other, the inner end of the inner shell being rev'ersely inturned, and a disk-like plate secured to the closed end of the outer shell having a re versely'and outwardly turned portion that engages over the inturned end of the inner shell for holding the two shells in place.

2. A cash carrier having two cylindrical shells open at one end and closed at the other and the open end of one shell projecting into the other shell, the inner end of the inner shell being reversely inturned to form a flange, and a segment of said flange being cut away, and a plate secured to the closed end of the outer shell that is provided with a re versely and outwardly turned portion to en-' gage the inturned end of the inner shell and hold the two shells together in place and which also has a radially extending stop that projects and operates in the cut away portion of the inturned flange of the inner shell, whereby the partial independent rotation of said shells in both directions will be stopped.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto afliXed my slgnature 1n the presence of the witnesses herein named.
